Even if you don’t have your photography merit bade yet, we still want to see the great pictures that you (or your son) took at summer camp this year. Share them with the rest of the troop in our Photos section by e-mailing them to Matt Williams.
What: Rappelling, of course! Or “abseiling” if you’re German~~ The art of dangling on a rope over a cliff. Our qualified Rappelmasters teach you the right way/ the safe way. If you are 13 and younger, you get to do so only in the presence of your parent or other guardian (not necessarily on the rope, just topside). Find out how many times you have to do it to earn the coveted rappelling knot– Scouts and adults. Back at camp, work on some of those outdoor skills you’ve been wanting to become proficient at, including cooking in a dutch oven.
